The on-water tour will run between the two pincers of Pt Nepean to the east, and Pt Lonsdale to the west, which together guard the entrance to our bay.   Beginning in the early afternoon, the ORCV vessel will collect passengers from the Sorrento Pier then steam across to Queenscliff to pick up the remaining passengers.  This is a great opportunity to enjoy an excellent brunch on the Mornington or Bellarine Peninsula and then arrive in plenty of time for the “Rip“tour.

Once the passengers have boarded, the instruction by experienced offshore navigators and yachtsmen will begin. Weather depending, passengers will also have the opportunity to be guided safely in and out of the “Rip” whilst in expert hands.

Book now for Sunday April 15,
